I ordered the Exam Hugs basket for my daughter at Yale the night before finals. She texted me crying happy tears when it arrived. Worth every penny.
About Us
More than delivery — it's a feeling.
We're two moms, two teachers, and two people who know exactly what it feels like to drive away from that college parking lot.
We started Hugs From Home after living through drop-off ourselves — the long hug, the quiet car ride home, the ache of being far away when your kid needs you. We wanted a way to show up for them even when we couldn't be there in person. When we couldn't find one that felt personal enough, we built it.
Every basket leaves our hands packed with the same care we'd put in for our own kids — because that's exactly who we're thinking about when we make it.
From our hands to their heart.
How it started
We know these campuses. We know these dorms.
Hugs From Home was founded by parents who felt the distance. We deliver to Yale and Quinnipiac — campuses we know personally — because we believe a care package isn't just a gift. It's a reminder that someone is thinking of you.
- Hand-selected items, packed with care
- Handwritten note included with every order
- Delivered directly to the dorm
What we believe
Built on love, delivered with intention.
Made with heart
Every order is assembled by hand. We pick items we'd send to our own kids.
Campus-first
We know Yale and Quinnipiac inside out — the dorms, the dining halls, the culture.
Delivered with care
We confirm every delivery and text you when your student has received their hug.

I was skeptical, but they texted me a photo when it was delivered. That personal touch is everything. We've already ordered again.

My roommate got me the Hangover Hugs basket and I genuinely think it saved my life. If you know, you know. My mom has now ordered me three more.
